Convention on Cybercrime
Convention Status
When investigating computer crime that originates outside the United States, law enforcement officials may be bound by time-consuming legal and political processes. The Convention on Cybercrime was an attempt to bring about international cooperation in fighting cybercrime. As of January 2004, 33 countries signed it, but only four of the necessary five countries ratified it since it was opened for signature in November of 2001.
